Chronic pain affects millions of people, yet traditional approaches often focus only on managing symptoms, without addressing the root cause. Today’s guests share a groundbreaking perspective: that pain is created by the brain as a signal of an underlying emotional issue that needs attention. By identifying and addressing these emotional triggers, lasting relief can be achieved by rewiring the brain.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with leading experts on getting to the root cause of chronic pain.

Dr. Andrea Furlan breaks down the drivers of chronic pain and debunks common myths around treatment. She also highlights the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle in worsening pain and shares her unique, integrative approach to healing.

Next, Dr. Howard Schubiner explains why chronic pain is becoming more prevalent and how it’s closely connected to the brain. He outlines why the current model of pain management falls short and introduces Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy—an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be more effective than traditional treatments.
